The Federal High Court Abuja, on Tuesday discharged and acquitted Shamsudeen Bala, son of Bauchi Governor, Bala Mohammed, of the N1.1 billion fraud charge against him.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), had filed a 20-count charge bordering on money laundering against Bala.
However, in a ruling earlier delivered on Dec. 14, 2021 on a no case submission, the trial judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba upheld Bala’s submission in part by dismissing 11 out of the 20 charges filed against him.
